Chapter Twenty-Eight: Finding Clues

However, the first one Li Gongfu visited, he touched a nose of ash, patted the door for a long time, and the servants who guarded the door saw that it was the tolerance of the yamen, and without saying a word, he closed the door with a black face.

Fortunately, Li Gongfu hid quickly, otherwise he would have to flatten his nose, but because this family is a well-known gentry in the county, even a head of a government official like Yao Zhutou must be polite to others, let alone an ordinary arrester like Li Gongfu.

In desperation, Li Gongfu had no choice but to find an ordinary family, but halfway through, he met Xu Xuan.

"Brother Li, how is the case being found?" Xu Xuan asked,

It stands to reason that Xu Jiaorong has not yet married into the Li family, and Xu Xuan still has to call Li Gongfu and Brother Li, not brother-in-law.

"Alas, don't mention it!" Li Gongfu blackened his face, handed the paper in his arms to Xu Xuan, and then said, "Xu Xuan, the method you said is really not a good way,"

Xu Xuan took the paper, there are only three or four here, that is to say, Li Gongfu has also visited three or four houses, but these are the only ones, there is already a lot of information in it, Xu Xuan turned over the paper, frowned and thought about something, heard Li Gongfu say this, raised his head and asked, "What?" Brother Li, is there a better way? ”

Li Gongfu shook his head, "Where do I have a good way, but you asked me to visit, I thought it was nothing more than tired, but you see me all the way down, some of them are nothing more than being scolded for two sentences, but this face has been spitted on the face, driven out of the house, and even more excessive, almost beat us out of the house with a stick, if these families are like this, your brother may have to be beaten and crippled." ”

Xu Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Gongfu's dejected appearance, "That's it, it's better like this, let me follow Brother Li and you go again." However, didn't the top give you some armor soldiers? Why didn't you take them with you? There are five or six strong men, presumably those people don't dare to do anything to you, right? ”

When Li Gongfu heard Xu Xuan say this, he frowned even more, "Take them?" Forget it, these guys are all some soldiers, if you don't take them, they still have a good face, with these guys, everyone on the road will avoid me, what kind of case is this investigating?"

"Let's go, I'll take a look with you, big brother," After saying that, Xu Xuan walked forward with his hands behind his back, Li Gongfu rubbed his face, smiled lowly, waved at Huang Zhukuai and the five armor soldiers on the corner of the street, and followed Xu Xuan in small steps.

What he said just now is true or false, with these armor soldiers, although as he said, everyone is hiding and walking, but this person is hiding, you are still investigating a fart, but you go alone, but you are all driven out by the bitter master, presumably it was the other catchers of the yamen, who were too cruel to these bitter masters, and made people hold grudges.

It was still the first one that Li Gongfu went to, Xu Xuan motioned for Li Gongfu to stand aside, and then raised his hand and gently slammed the door. The heavy wooden door creaked open a gap, only to see a man dressed as a servant in Tsing Yi, looking out from this gap, and seeing a teenage child outside the door, the defense in his heart lowered, opened the door, looked at Xu Xuan and asked, "You child, what are you doing to detain the door of my house?" ”

Xu Xuan bowed his hand and saluted, "This uncle is invited, my eldest brother and I are here to handle the case......"

Before Xu Xuan finished speaking, the servant's face changed, and he stretched out his hand to close the wooden door, "What are you doing here, you have finished asking all the questions, and the paper in the yamen is written, you can go." “

Xu Xuan was suddenly anxious when he saw it, if this door was closed, it would be wasted, no, he couldn't let the servant close the door, thinking of this, Xu Xuan's body shook, but he squeezed in from the gap in the wooden door all of a sudden, the servant was stunned, reached out and grabbed Xu Xuan's collar and threw him out, but as soon as he turned around, he only felt a huge force coming from the wooden door behind him, and then he flew out.

"Let's go, Brother Li, let's go to the lobby and ask the owner directly," Xu Xuan looked at the servant who fell to the ground, and the courtyard door that was wide open, and couldn't help frowning, this brother-in-law of his own, how can he not know martial arts, but this brute force is really not small.

But they don't need to go over, at this time, the owner of the house has heard the noise at the door, and has already rushed over, and when he saw Xu Xuan and Li Gongfu standing at the door, his face changed first, and then he smiled, "Haha, I don't know if the two of you are coming, I don't know if I miss the distance, I don't know ......."

Xu Xuan looked at this person's smiling appearance, a little disgusted, and directly interrupted this person's words, "This master, we didn't come in to be polite, let me ask you a few questions, may I ask you a few questions, before your young lady disappeared, did you go to Qingfeng Temple?" Or somewhere else? ”

"My young lady doesn't go out of the door, but she went to Qingfeng Temple to pray for the elders before the accident, but this is your ......"

"May I ask if you knew Mrs. Zhou, who was doing needlework, before your young lady disappeared?" After Xu Xuan heard this person's answer, he drew a circle on top of it with a brush and asked without raising his head

"I also know, our woman from Suzhou and Hangzhou, the one who doesn't know how to needlework, Mrs. Zhou is a famous needlewoman in our area, I specially asked people to invite her," the owner of this house replied halfway, as if he had woken up, "I answer you what to do, I ......"

"Sorry to bother you, farewell!" After Xu Xuan finished speaking, he and Li Gongfu bowed their hands to this person and walked out of the courtyard. Only this gentleman was left, standing in the courtyard in a daze, watching Xu Xuan and them leave.

"Sir, they are gone," said the butler, who stood beside the gentleman.

"Well, I know, let's talk about it in this way, which Yao Zhutou shouldn't say about us" The gentleman said lightly, and after speaking, the man turned around and led the servants towards the courtyard.

"Xu Xuan, what are the two questions you just asked?" Li Gongfu followed Xu Xuan and asked, but Xu Xuan didn't answer, turned around and walked out of the city.

"Alas, there are several more in this city, why don't you go to the house and ask them?" Li Gongfu asked after Xu Xuan's back.

"No need to ask, it's just an ordinary poor ancient family, but this lost lady rarely goes out, how come everyone has been to this place? There must be something wrong with this air duct here!! Xu Xuan said as he walked.

"How many people still know Mrs. Zhou, Xu Xuan, don't we need to ask her?" Li Gongfu asked in the back.

"It stands to reason that many people know this old woman, but most of them are known by this rich and noble family, at this time, because of ordinary ordinary people, women learn needlework, most of them are close relatives such as mothers, only this rich and noble family, hired needlework mother-in-law, so you look at what you wrote, ordinary families, most of them don't know Mrs. Zhou, so this mother-in-law Zhou is just a spare clue for us, focusing on investigation, between this county town and Qingfeng View, we can ask so much, Presumably Yao Zhutou also asked the same question, so let's investigate this case, sooner rather than later, otherwise maybe people will really solve the case! Xu Xuan walked briskly, and said to Li Gongfu without looking back.

"Let's hurry, Brother Li, hurry up and find something to travel, otherwise we may not be able to return to the city at night" Xu Xuan looked up at the slanting sun in the sky, and said solemnly.
